While the Rifle and Pistol Shooters will be eyeing a good performance to ensure a place in the national Olympic trials, which will be held in May, the Shotgun stars will look to hold their place in the team and maintain high world rankings with as many as four spots, two in Trap and two in Skeet, still to be booked for Paris with a final qualifier event slated for April in Rio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Trap shooters will be first to take aim, with the day one of qualifiers offering 75 targets to gun down. In Women\u2019s Trap, Rajeshwari Kumari, Bhavya Tripathi and Manisha Keer will be in contention for medals while veteran Zoravar Singh Sandhu, Prithviraj Tondaiman and Bhowneesh Mendiratta will hold fort in Men\u2019s Trap.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the women\u2019s and men\u2019s air pistol, six Indian shooters will vie for podium finishes. Ujjwal Malik, Ravinder Singh and Sagar Dangi will aim for a great start and a first-ever senior individual world cup medal in the men\u2019s category, while Olympian Manu Bhaker, Mixed Pistol World Champion Esha Singh and Anuradha Devi will carry the Indian hopes in the women\u2019s event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A few Indian shooters, like Vivaan Kapoor and Lakshay Sheoran in Men\u2019s Trap, Rhythm Sangwan in women\u2019s Air Pistol and Varun Tomar in Men\u2019s Pistol, will also be shooting for ranking points only (RPO) and will not be in medal contention.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
A total of 672 shooters from 66 nations will compete in the year\u2019s first combined ISSF World Cup stage where all 15 Olympic events will be conducted. All top shooters of the world will be in attendance, looking to begin the international season on a confident note, given the importance of the year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2024\/01\/indian-shooters-set-to-fire-in-olympic-years-first-issf-world-cup.jpeg", "alt_img": "Indian shooters set to fire in Olympic year\u2019s first ISSF World Cup", "alt_title": "Indian shooters set to fire in Olympic year\u2019s first ISSF World Cup", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Indian Shooters Set To Fire In Olympic Year\u2019s First ISSF World Cup On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Indian Shooters Set To Fire In Olympic Year\u2019s First ISSF World Cup, Egypt International Olympic City Shooting: A 49-member squad of Indian shooters is set to fire in the Olympic year\u2019s first.", "seo_keywords": "ISSF World Cup, New Delhi, International Shooting Sport Federation, World Cup Rifle, Egypt International Olympic City Shooting, Republic Day, Pistol Shooters, The Men, In Women, Rajeshwari Kumari, Bhavya Tripathi, Manisha Keer, Zoravar Singh Sandhu", "tag": "", "tagging": "ISSF World Cup, New Delhi, International Shooting Sport Federation, World Cup Rifle, Republic Day, Pistol Shooters, The Men, In Women, Rajeshwari Kumari, Bhavya Tripathi, Manisha Keer, Zoravar Singh Sandhu", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "indian-shooters-set-to-fire-in-olympic-years-first-issf-world-cup", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "785", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2024-01-25 18:48:04", "updated": "2024-01-25 18:48:04", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "ISSF World Cup, New Delhi, International Shooting Sport Federation, World Cup Rifle, Egypt International Olympic City Shooting, Republic Day, Pistol Shooters, The Men, In Women, Rajeshwari Kumari, Bhavya Tripathi, Manisha Keer, Zoravar Singh Sandhu", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2024-01-25 18:48:04", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "others", "cnmid": "857063", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/indian-shooters-set-to-fire-in-olympic-years-first-issf-world-cup-12575" }
